In the past I've used GitHub template repo or starter project... however, I don't believe this provides the value I've hoped for.
Templates and starter projects are frozen in time and do not benefit from the improvements to the CLI tools that scaffold and initialize the tools Idepend on. Furthermore, I have to manually handle updates to packages, as at the start of a new project I want my dependencies to be up to date.
I believe Following a simple guide will be just as fast whilst benefiting from the latest improvements to the tools, and having an oportinity to modify, or omit the steps I don't need.
